This Is For You

The PTSA is having their annual "This Is For You" day for the students at Robinson (7-12 grades). It will be on Wednesday, April 20th during all the lunch periods. This is where we pass out baked and store bought goodies to all the students. We do have a special allergy section for those students with food allergies.

It is very hard to feed all the students at Robinson. We need everyone's help to bring in treats either the night before at drop off (Tuesday, April 19th from 5-8 PM in front of Robinson) or to the main office on April19 or 20. We also need parent volunteers to pass out the treats at lunch time.

Remember this is a surprise for the students! Shhh!    Click here to sign up.
